bböp Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 If they did indeed play Sunloathe, that would be the first time they've ever done it live... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedRedRed Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Is right. Actually bbop, they never played Poor Places, either - my mistake. There seemed to be a fair few iPhones on the go right from the off last night, so surely someone's got the correct order? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By recollection you should drop Sunloathe, Poor Places and You Are My Face and add At Least That's What You Said.The order isn't there either by my memory isn't up to that! Great show mind you!

helicopterday Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Know there wasn't You Are My Face or Sunloathe or Poor Places.... def played ALTWYS.... wracking my brains. My bro took a picture of the set list. I'll report back! They also had War on the set list, but didn't have time to play it. I blame Jonathan Wilson, but I'm not bitter.... transcendent gig.

Albert Tatlock Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 http://mancunianmatters.co.uk/content/review-wilco-manchester-academy-–-25102011 Review: Wilco @ Manchester Academy – 25/10/2011 BANTER: Wilco's Jeff TweedyPosted Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - 16:42By Mary Maguire Wilco’s UK tour might have started off in Glasgow but it only came to life in Manchester as front man Jeff Tweedy sent fans wild at the Academy last night. Tweedy proclaimed: “You are a whole lot better than last night’s audience,” referring to the fight which had broken out during what he bemusedly described as one of the band’s gentler songs. He said of the punter whose nose was allegedly broken: “The sound was gross, but it was the liveliest thing about the whole night!” Wilco’s set did not disappoint their Mancunian fans, as they opened with extended rock introduction Art of Almost from their Whole Love album released in September. The incongruity of the stage design which featured home-store lampshades alongside standard spot and strobe lighting befitting of rock bands added a fluency to a set which ranged from extended ear-splitting guitar solos to familiar sounding country songs. Diehard fans were not disappointed as the set moved seamlessly from newer work to old favourites, such as A Shot in the Arm from their 1999 album Summerteeth and I am Trying to Break Your Heart from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Fans were rewarded and probably conceived at last night’s gig where good humoured banter was interspersed with classic guitar duets between Tweedy and the multi-talented instrumentalist and producer Pat Sansone. The banter was good-natured throughout. Even when one audience member complained about the high pitched whine of the smoke machine, describing it as ‘analogue’ Tweedy replied: “Of course it’s analogue motherf***er. This is the real world! It’s not perfect! But for Wilco fans, it wasn’t far off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lintoni Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 http://mancunianmatt...demy-–-25102011 Fans were rewarded and probably conceived at last night’s gig where good humoured banter was interspersed with classic guitar duets between Tweedy and the multi-talented instrumentalist and producer Pat Sansone. I'd noticed that Pat Sansone was a bit more to the fore than was previously the case, but no mention of Nels? And I must admit that I was too busy watching the stage to see if any couples were busy trying to conceive. It may be worth checking the birth announcements in the local papers in 9 months time, if there are lots of baby Jeffs, Glenns, Glendas (?), then we'll know that Ms Maguires journalistic skills are not to be doubted.

whyalwaysme? Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The gig was OK. The band were great, but the venue is dreadful and I think the setlist could've been in a better order. Even though I live in Manchester, I rarely enjoy the gigs here because the venues are bad and the crowds are even worse. Fair play the crowd wasn't so bad last night. They soundchecked a cover of "you really got me" yesterday. Looking forward to Bristol tomorrow, that is a real great venue! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burrito Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Looking forward to Bristol tomorrow, that is a real great venue! See ya there! My first Wilco gig, I can't wait! Haven't been to the Colston for ages but remember it being a great venue too :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 amazing what the new Iphones can do...I just saw Drive By Truckers and recorded a song with my 4S expecting there to be major sound distortion but, alas, the sound was nearly perfect... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Louis Balfour Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The gig was OK. The band were great, but the venue is dreadful and I think the setlist could've been in a better order. Even though I live in Manchester, I rarely enjoy the gigs here because the venues are bad and the crowds are even worse. Fair play the crowd wasn't so bad last night. They soundchecked a cover of "you really got me" yesterday. Well said mate, The Academy is a hideous venue. I can't believe they redeveloped the entrance/bar area and did nothing to the actual hall! It has all the charm and the acoustics of a nuclear bunker. I wish they had played the Lowry even though it's all seater at least you'd have been able to hear what was being played. The gig was a real disappointment due to the awfulness of the Academy. I hope they come back to the UK again on this tour since I was unable to make any of the other shows and I'd really like to "hear" the songs from the new album live. Manchester really sucks when it comes to venues although I've heard that the Academy is the only one that doesn't take a cut from merch sales which may be why everyone plays there.

whyalwaysme? Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 The smaller academys take a cut of merch, so I'd imagine the main hall does too. I think the problem is that the academy is the only venue in the centre which can accommodate a band of this size (like mogwai and sonic youth too). Bridgewater Hall could work but it's pretty big and risks being half empty. Lowry is brilliant, saw Sigur Ros there back in 2005 (I think) and it as great. Thing is; people in Manchester, students and the like, don't want to travel out on the metro to Salford. It's only 15 minutes but it puts them off, especially if you need to get the last train back to places like Rochdale and Bolton etc... I heard they were turning the old Odeon on Oxford Rd into a venue, but surely it would just be like the Apollo? Nightmare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
